+# tinyplace — one plugin, any harness
+
+**Goal (user directive):** ONE installable plugin. The user installs it once; it
+**detects the harness it's running in** (Codex, Claude Code, or any future one) and
+wires itself accordingly — MCP server, hooks, launcher, inbound strategy. No per-harness
+package, no manual wiring.
+
+Replaces the two near-identical packages (`plugin-claude` 1280 loc, `plugin-codex`
+1333 loc — ~95% shared) with a single `@tinyhumansai/tinyplace-plugin`. The 5% that
+differs is isolated into **runtime-selected adapters**.

+### Runtime detection (`mcp/harness.mjs`)
+
+Order: explicit override → harness-specific env signals → default.
+
+| Signal | ⇒ harness |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `TINYPLACE_HARNESS` set | that value (explicit escape hatch) |
+| `CODEX_HOME` / `CODEX_SESSION_ID` / `CODEX_THREAD_ID` present | `codex` |
+| `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` / `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` present | `claude` |
+| else | `claude` (safe default; overridable) |
+
+### Adapter — the ONLY per-harness surface
+
+```js
+// adapters/<harness>.mjs → one descriptor object
+{
+  provider: "codex" | "claude",
+  dataDirEnv, dataDirDefault,          // ~/.tinyplace-codex vs -claude (or unified ~/.tinyplace)
+  sessionLabelPrefix,                  // "codex" / "claude"
+  resolveHarnessSessionId(),           // codex: CODEX_* → null→wrapper id; claude: CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID
+  inbound: {                           // how new DMs reach a live session
+    push: false | { capability, method },   // claude channel (server→client notification)
+    pull: true | false,                // codex: surfacing hook + inbox tool
+    foregroundInject: true,            // tmux send-keys into the live pane (folds in #212, both harnesses)
+  },
+  responder: { command, buildArgs(prompt, model, root), defaultModel },  // claude -p | codex exec
+  install: { kind: "plugin-dir" | "codex-home", write(ctx) },  // launcher wiring
+}
+```
+
+Shared core reads `activeAdapter()` once at startup. Push paths no-op when
+`inbound.push === false`; hooks/surfacing only wired when `inbound.pull`. Nothing
+harness-specific lives in the 20 tools.
+
+### One launcher (`bin/tinyplace.mjs`)
+
+`tinyplace` (no args) → pick/create wallet → **detect or `--harness <x>`** →
+- claude → `claude --plugin-dir <self> --dangerously-load-development-channels …`
+- codex  → write isolated `CODEX_HOME` (config.toml `[mcp_servers]` + auto-loaded
+  `hooks.json`) → `codex --dangerously-bypass-hook-trust`
+
+Already *inside* a harness (server spawned as its MCP child) → just run the MCP server;
+detection picks the adapter, no launch.
+
+## Inbound strategy per harness (unified)
+
+| Harness | idle live session | no live session |
+|---------|-------------------|-----------------|
+| claude | channel push (real-time) OR tmux inject (#212) | isolated `claude -p` |
+| codex  | tmux inject (#212) — else surfacing hook next turn | isolated `codex exec` |
+
+`foregroundInject` (tmux) is harness-agnostic → lives in the shared core, gated by a
+recorded `tmuxPane`. This is exactly sanil's #212 generalized to one place.
+
+## Packaging
+
+Single package, its own `node_modules` (deps: `@tinyhumansai/tinyplace`,
+`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`, `zod`). Excluded from the pnpm workspace like the current
+plugins. Relative cross-dir imports of the SDK do NOT resolve without the package's own
+install (verified) → keep everything under one package root with one `node_modules`.
+
+## Migration / decoupling (no dependency on #212 or #214)
+
+1. Build `plugin-tinyplace` by merging the two servers → one, threading `activeAdapter()`.
+2. Port both test suites → run against the unified package (behavior unchanged).
+3. Fold `foregroundInject` into the core adapter slot now (empty until tmux wiring lands),
+   so #212 merges in as core behavior with no rework.
+4. `plugin-claude` / `plugin-codex` become thin re-export shims → the unified package (or
+   are removed once consumers migrate). Keeps #214/#212 alive during transition.
+5. Cross-harness `xplugin-e2e` still green (now: one package, two adapters, same network).
+
+## Launcher (one `bin/tinyplace`)
+
+`bin/tinyplace.mjs` is harness-agnostic: it owns the wallet store, the arrow-key menu,
+and the import/register flows, then hands off to `activeAdapter().launch.prepare(ctx)`
+for the `{command, args, env}` that boots THIS harness. The per-harness install step
+(Claude: point `claude --plugin-dir` at the package; Codex: write an isolated
+`CODEX_HOME` with `config.toml` + auto-discovered `hooks.json` + symlinked `auth.json`)
+lives entirely inside each adapter's `launch.prepare`. `--harness <name>` (or
+`TINYPLACE_HARNESS`) forces the adapter; otherwise it auto-detects. Adding a harness
+never touches the launcher.
+
+## Convention for adding a harness (the guardrail)
+
+`adapters/README.md` is the authoring guide — the full field contract table + a
+checklist. `adapter-contract-test.mjs` (in `pnpm test`) structurally enforces that
+contract for EVERY adapter in the `ADAPTERS` map: a missing/wrong-shaped field, a
+shared data dir, a dropped `UNTRUSTED` framing, an inbound with no delivery path, or a
+`launch.prepare` that doesn't return a valid plan all fail CI. A new contributor copies
+an existing adapter, fills the fields, adds a detection signal, and makes the contract
+test green — no core edits, no silent breakage.
+
+## Deferred: shim conversion (step 4 above)
+
+`plugin-codex` is still live as PR #214 and `plugin-claude` is separately published, so
+converting them to re-export shims now would conflict with #214 and couple this PR to
+its merge timing. This package ships **standalone**; the shim conversion is a follow-up
+once #214 lands. The unified package does not import from either old plugin.
+
+## Success criterion
+
+One `npm i @tinyhumansai/tinyplace-plugin` + `tinyplace`. It works in Codex or Claude
+with zero harness-specific choices by the user. A new harness = one adapter file.

+# Adding a harness — the adapter convention
+
+This package is **one plugin for any harness**. Install it once; at load time it
+detects which harness it runs inside (Codex, Claude Code, …) and hands the shared
+core a matching **adapter**. The adapter is the _only_ place per-harness knowledge
+lives — the 20 MCP tools, the daemon, the hooks, and the launcher are all
+harness-agnostic and read the adapter through one narrow interface.
+
+> **Golden rule:** if you find yourself writing `if (harness === "codex")` anywhere
+> outside `adapters/`, stop. That branch belongs in an adapter field. The core must
+> never name a harness.
+
+## What an adapter is
+
+A plain object describing the deltas for one harness, exported from
+`adapters/<name>.mjs` and registered in `mcp/harness.mjs`'s `ADAPTERS` map. The
+core resolves exactly one adapter per process via `activeAdapter()` and reads
+these fields.
+
+## The contract
+
+Every field below is **required** and enforced by `adapter-contract-test.mjs`
+(part of `pnpm test`). A missing or wrong-shaped field fails CI — that's the
+guardrail. Copy an existing adapter (`claude.mjs` is the simplest) and fill each
+field for your harness.
+
+| Field | Type | What it is |
+|---|---|---|
+| `provider` | string | Stable id. **Must equal the key** you register it under in `ADAPTERS`. |
+| `dataDirEnv` | string | Env var that overrides the state dir. **Must be `TINYPLACE_`-prefixed** and unique across adapters. |
+| `dataDirDefault` | absolute path | Default state dir (wallets, sessions, queue). **Must be unique** — harnesses never share a data dir. |
+| `sessionLabelPrefix` | string | Prefix for session labels (`<prefix>:1`, `<prefix>:2`, …). |
+| `harness` | `{ command, argv }` | How this harness identifies in the message envelope. `command` non-empty, `argv` an array. |
+| `resolveHarnessSessionId()` | `() => string` | The harness's session id from env, or `""` if none reaches the MCP subprocess (the server self-generates a wrapper id). |
+| `projectDir()` | `() => string` | Stable per-project scope key for assignment persistence when there's no session id. `""` = fall back to global scope. |
+| `serverInstructions` | string | MCP `instructions`. **Must contain the word `UNTRUSTED`** — the prompt-injection guard telling the agent inbound DMs are data, not instructions. |
+| `inbound` | `{ push, pull, foregroundInject }` | How new DMs reach a live session. `push` is `false` **or** `{ capability, method }` (server→client channel). `pull`/`foregroundInject` are booleans. **At least one delivery path must be truthy**, else DMs vanish. |
+| `responder` | `{ command, defaultModel, buildArgs }` | Headless autoresponder. `buildArgs(prompt, model, pluginRoot)` returns the CLI argv and **must thread both `prompt` and `model`**. |
+| `install` | `{ kind }` | Launcher install strategy tag (e.g. `plugin-dir`, `codex-home`). |
+| `launch` | `{ displayHarness, binary, notFoundHint?, prepare }` | Launcher recipe. `prepare(ctx)` returns `{ command, args, env }`; see below. |
+
+### `launch.prepare(ctx)`
+
+The unified launcher (`bin/tinyplace.mjs`) owns the wallet store, the menu, and
+the import/register flows, then calls your `prepare()` to boot the harness.
+
+`ctx` = `{ pluginDir, dataDir, apiUrl, walletName, forwardedArgs }`.
+
+Return `{ command, args, env }`:
+- `command` **must equal** `launch.binary`.
+- `args` **must include** `...ctx.forwardedArgs` (everything after `--` on the CLI).
+- `env` **must set** `TINYPLACE_ACTIVE_WALLET: ctx.walletName` so the session opens
+  already logged in. It's merged over `process.env` by the launcher.
+- Any per-harness install step (writing an isolated config, symlinking auth, …)
+  happens _inside_ `prepare()`. See `codex.mjs`'s `ensureIsolatedHome` for the
+  heaviest case; `claude.mjs` shows the trivial one (just point at `pluginDir`).
+
+## Wiring it up (checklist)
+
+1. **`adapters/<name>.mjs`** — export `export const <name>Adapter = { … }` with every
+   field above.
+2. **`mcp/harness.mjs`** — `import` it and add it to `ADAPTERS`:
+   ```js
+   const ADAPTERS = { claude: claudeAdapter, codex: codexAdapter, <name>: <name>Adapter };
+   ```
+3. **`detectHarness()`** in the same file — add the env signal that identifies your
+   harness _before_ the `return "claude"` default, e.g.
+   `if (env.MYHARNESS_HOME) return "<name>";`. Keep the `TINYPLACE_HARNESS` override
+   at the top untouched — it's how `--harness <name>` and every test forces a harness.
+4. **`pnpm test`** — the contract test picks up your adapter automatically (it
+   iterates `ADAPTERS`). Make it green. Then run `branch-test.mjs` and
+   `mcp-smoke.mjs` locally against your harness (`TINYPLACE_HARNESS=<name>`).
+
+## What you must NOT do
+
+- **Don't touch the core for harness behavior.** `mcp/*.mjs`, `hooks/*.mjs`, and
+  `bin/tinyplace.mjs` are harness-agnostic. New behavior = new/changed adapter field
+  consumed by the core, never a harness name in the core.
+- **Don't reuse another harness's `dataDirDefault` / `dataDirEnv`.** Isolation is the
+  whole point; the contract test rejects collisions.
+- **Don't drop the `UNTRUSTED` framing** from `serverInstructions`. It's a security
+  invariant, not boilerplate.
+- **Don't leave `inbound` with no delivery path.** If the harness can't push, set
+  `pull: true` and/or `foregroundInject: true` so the surfacing hook can deliver.
+- **Don't forget `...forwardedArgs`** in `launch.prepare` — users rely on
+  `tinyplace -- <harness flags>` passing through.
+
+If the contract test is green and `branch-test` + `mcp-smoke` pass under your
+harness, the adapter is correctly wired and the rest of the plugin already works.

+// tiny.place MCP server — ONE server, any harness.
+//
+// Wraps @tinyhumansai/tinyplace to give a harness session (Codex, Claude Code, …):
+//   - a named, persisted list of wallets (identities)
+//   - an "active agent" for the session (which signer the client uses)
+//   - Signal E2E messaging over the tiny.place relay
+//   - a long-lived background listener (WebSocket doorbell + periodic poll)
+//     that decrypts inbound DMs and either buffers them (poll mode) or
+//     unblocks a synchronous send_and_wait / await_reply (request→reply).
+//
+// The MCP process is long-lived for the whole harness session, so the listener
+// and the active-wallet selection persist across turns. Every per-harness delta
+// (data dir, session-id resolution, inbound push vs pull, instructions, session
+// label prefix) is read from the active adapter — detected once at load via
+// mcp/harness.mjs — so the 20 tools below are harness-agnostic.
